I've been wondering why i've been sucking so bad and only getting around 30fps on my i7 970 @4GHz with GTX480 overclocked... on my Q9550 @3.8ghz with 2x 5850 crossfire i was getting 80+fps.. Well shit i forgot to set my 970 to stop crunching when i'm playing "bf3.exe"... I fixed that and went back in and now i'm getting 80 to 110fps on my GTX480! . And holy fuck what a difference.. Now I can get some kills in bf3 beta.. lol

Hmmm I will have to recheck those setting when I get home. honestly like Ive said before, BF3 on low looks like BC2 on HIGH so it doesn't bother me on medium.

Fair enough. I set everything to High and turned Shadows down to Medium since Metro is so dark once you get inside it doesn't matter. It might be closer to ~40fps because I notice slow down when the sewers explode and such, but it's definitely playable, and closer to 60+ when there isn't much going on. Game looks great

I have set everything on ultra with NO AA or AF and it was playable but I like smoothness.

My video card is still at stock clocks tho.

yea my crossfired 5850 toxics chew this game up!.. hehehe on Ultra! I have to say Dice has a winner here! both my nv card and my ati cards run smooth now! I'm going to test my GTX470, GTX285, 9600GT, and I want to try my old HD3850.

Does this happen to anyone else, going into the metro for the 1st time for me it always lags.
